Ah, the famous beefeaters! It rained a bit for our tour of the Tower of London (imagine that - rain in England).
The Tower itself was very interesting - and of course so were the contents. The Crown Jewels were really spectacular - I went back in line 3 times to see them (it was a very short line)
Aside from the crown jewels, the tower also contains "All the King's Horses" - carved images of the Kings of England riding horses.
And of course the ravens. Now the tower ravens have an interesting mythos surrounding them. Supposedly, if the ravens ever leave the Tower, the Tower (and London) will fall.
